3 Jewish Life Jewish Life

Milwaukee’s Jewish community is vibrant and diverse, and the JCC is right at the center of the action. Creating an inclusive Jewish gathering space means celebrating the values and traditions that unite us. No matter if you grew up Jewish or are new to the community, you always have a home here. Family programs, youth education, and holiday celebrations fill our calendar and make Jewish tradition, practice, and exploration accessible to all families. היהודיים החיים היהודיים

4. Kol Nidre is translated to mean “All Vows.” Chai-Five: 5 Fun Facts about the On Yom Kippur evening, in synagogues all over the world (and High Holidays by Neil Diamond in “The Jazz Singer”) the Kol Nidre prayer is chanted 3 times. This prayer cancels any oaths that were Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are known as the High Holidays made directly with God in the prior year so that we can start and are sometimes referred to as the Days of Awe. This 10- over and have a clean slate. For example, if you promised to day period, which begins this year at sundown on September do a better job at controlling your temper, and then continued 29 and continues through Yom Kippur on October 9, is a to lose it repeatedly over the past year, you will annul that time of personal reflection, family gathering, and communal oath so that you aren’t starting the new year with that same engagement for Jews throughout the world. As an inclusively broken promise in place. Kol Nidre does not, however, cancel Jewish community center that welcomes people with varying out promises made with other people. To make peace with degrees of knowledge on Jewish holidays, we put together others, you need to seek forgiveness directly. some fun information you may or may not know about the High Holidays to get you to start thinking about the holiday season. 5. Eating a big meal before you fast is not the best idea. Traditionally, the meal eaten before sundown on Erev Yom 1. The ‘80s are back! Kippur is large and festive. However, eating extra food — On Rosh Hashanah, we will end the Hebrew year 5779 and particularly in one last-minute feast — will not keep you going begin the year 5780. Does this mean you should dust off your for 24 hours. Nutritionists suggest eating small amounts of neon legwarmers and go get a perm? Only you can decide, carbohydrates (bread, potato, rice, pasta), some protein like but since high-waist jeans and fanny packs are already back, fish or chicken, and fruit before beginning your fast on Yom anything can happen. Kippur. 2. Rosh Hashanah is only 1 of 4 Jewish New Years on the Hebrew calendar. Rosh Hashanah is literally translated to mean the head of the year. But there are three more dates on the Hebrew calendar that are considered new years as well. In the Book of Exodus, the beginning of the year was set as the 1st of Nisan, the month in spring that contains Passover. Jewish tradition also marks Tu Bishvat, the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat, as the new year for trees and the 1st of Elul, usually in late summer, as the new year for the tithing of animals.

3. A shofar doesn’t always smell so good. The key commandment of Rosh Hashanah is to hear the sounding of the shofar. A shofar is an instrument made out of an actual ram’s horn, so it is going to have a certain natural aroma to it. If someone tells you that they can sell you a shofar that doesn’t have any smell, then you are probably not getting a genuine ram’s horn shofar. How can you make a new shofar less stinky? Rinsing it out with a solution of baking soda and vinegar should do the trick. As you prepare for the holidays, be sure to check the JCC’s holiday hours and special events on the next two pages. We wish you all a Shanah tovah um’tukah, a good and sweet new year, and g’mar chatimah tovah, may you be inscribed for good in the Book of Life!

Before School Care 7:00 – 9:00 AM After School Care 3:00 – 6:00 PM (5:30 PM Fridays)

We know how hard it is to find before and after school options that make everyone happy. Parents want their children to be safe and engaged, while kids just want to hang out with their friends and have fun. Kids Center strikes that perfect balance.

With access to the gym, pool, art room, and theater, kids can take everything from swim lessons to sports, arts, and STEM classes. There are also plenty of opportunities to just be a kid and play with friends outside and inside. A dedicated, supervised homework room keeps kids on track for school success and allows your family to enjoy a more peaceful evening at home.

Kids Center’s team of retired teachers, college students, and youth professionals partner with parents to help their children build confidence, resilience, responsibility, and competence while always having the children’s safety and well-being as a top priority.
